Relating to, characteristic of, or supporting fascism; having qualities like extreme nationalism, authoritarianism, or intolerance of dissent.
From 'fascism' plus the adjective suffix '-ic,' emerging in English in the 1920s-1930s as fascist movements gained power in Europe.
The word 'fascistic' is useful because it describes tendencies and attitudes that might not be full-blown fascism—a government can have fascistic elements (like propaganda and suppression of free speech) without being a complete fascist state.
